JOINT     REGULATIONS 

OF   THE 

FACULTY  OF  LETTERS  AND  THE  FACULTIES  OF 
SCIENCE. 


I.    Organization  of  Instruction. 

\\.  There  are  established  Eight  Rogular  Courses  of  study, 
leading  directly,  under  conditions  hereinafter  stated  (See  es- 
pecially §45),  to  corresponding  degrees,  namely: — 

us     In  charge  of  the  Faculty  of  the  College  of  Letters, — 

CO 

^2         I.    The  Classical  Course,  leading  to  the  degree  of  A.B.; 

jjr         II.    The  Literary  Course,  leading  to  the  degree  of  B.L.; 

-*:         III.    The  Course  in  Letters  and  Political  Science    leading  to 

tthe  degree  of  Ph.B. 
In  charge,  severally,  of  the  respective  Faculties  of  the  five 
^  Colleges  of  Science, — 

5 

IV.  The  Course  in  Agriculture; 

V.  The  Course  in  Mechanics; 

VI.  The  Course  in  Mining; 

VII.  The  Course  in  Civil  Engineering; 

VIII.  The  Course  in  Chemistry; 

each  of  which  leads  regularly  to  the  degree  of  B.S. 

§  2.  To  each  of  these  Regular  Courses  there  shall  pertain 
an  established  curriculum  of  studies,  prescribed  or  elective, 
arranged  in  the  order  of  four  successive  years,  as  ex- 
hibited in  the  annual  Register  of  the  University. 

§  3.  There  are  permitted,  in  addition,  Courses  at  Large 
and  Partial  Courses,  not  leading  directly  to  any  degree,  but

through  each  of  which,  on  the  conditions  pertaining  to 
the  status  of  the  student  pursuing  it,  as  specified  below  in 
§j/ 10,  14,  and  45,  some  one  of  the  above-named  degrees  is 
possibly  attainable. 

II.  Status  of  Students. 

§  4.  In  respect  to  status,  students  are  classed  as  Graduate 
and  Undergraduate ;  and  Undergraduates  as  Regular 
Students,  Students  at  Large,  and  Partial  Course  Students, 
the  latter  being  further  classified  as  Special  Students  and 
Limited  Course  Students. 

§  5.  Graduate  Students  are  such  graduates  of  the  Univer- 
sity, or  other  institution  empowered  to  confer  like  degrees 
on  an  equivalent  basis,  as  are  in  residence  and  pursuing 
advanced  or  special  studies  under  the  direction  of  a 
Faculty. 

§  6.  Regular  Students  are  such  Undergraduates  as  are  can- 
didates for  a  degree  in  some  one  of  the  eight  Regular 
Courses.  They  are  ranked  in  Four  Classes,  of  a  year's 
work  each,  namely,  the  Fourth  or  Freshman,  the  Third  or 
Sophomore,  the  Second  or  Junior,  and  the  First  or  Senior. 
Their  total  work  per  week  must  not  be  less  than  fifteen 
hours  in  the  recitation-room,  lecture-room,  laboratory,  or 
field;  except  that,  in  the  second  term  of  the  Senior  year, 
the  required  number  of  hours  shall  be  fourteen.  But, 
in  making  up  this  total,  three  hours  of  work  in  the  labora- 
tory or  the  field  shall  count  as  one.    (See  also  R 19,  20, 22,  26.) 

§  7.  Students  at  Large  are  Undergraduates  pursuing  purely 
elective  courses,  which  may  include  any  subject  taught  in 
the  University,  provided  the  conditions  for  taking  it, 
specified  in  §14,  are  complied  with.  They  must  elect  such 
a  schedule  of  studies  as  will  make  up  the  number  of  hours 
required  of  a  Regular  Student.     (See  also  R  19,  20, 22,  26.) 

§  8.  Special  Students  are  Partial  Course  Students  of  mature 
character,  pursuing  some  one  line  of  special  study,  with  its 
correlated  branches  ;  a  minor  will  not,  ordinarily,  be  ad- 
mitted to  the  privileges  of  a  Special  Student.  Special 
Students  must  make  out  and  observe  such  a  schedule  of 
hours  given  to  their  specialty  and  its  allied  branches  as 


13] 

the  professors  or  instructors  in  charge  of  the  same  may 
approve,  and  shall  deposit  the  schedule  with  the  Recorder 
before  beginning'  their  work.     (See  also  ||  19,  21,  22,  26.) 

§9.  Limited  Course  Students  are  Partial  Course  Studeits 
who,  by  reason  of  ill  he*  lth  or  other  disability,  ;;re  un- 
able to  pursue  more  than  a  limited  number  of  studies,  or 
who  cannot  remain  at  the  University  long  enough  to  com- 
plete a  Regular  Course.  They  must  deposit  with  the  Re- 
corder, before  beginning  their  work,  such  a  list  of  studies  as 
the  proper  Faculty  may  approve.    (See  also  \\  19,  21,  22,  26.) 

§10.  Students  at  Large,  Special  Students,  and  Limited  Course 
Students,  are  not  by  virtue  of  their  status  candidates  for  any 
degree  ;  but,  upon  completing  a  total  of  studies  equiv- 
alent, in  the  judgment  of  the  proper  Faculty,  to  those  of 
a  Regular  Course,  they  may,  by  vote  of  that  Faculty,  be 
recommended  for  the  degree  of  the  Course.  Or,  upon 
leaving  the  University  in  good  standing,  they  may,  by  a 
like  vote,  receive  a  certificate  of  excellence  in  such  studies 
as  they  have  completed  at  a  grade  not  lower  than  the 
second  (See  $g  33  and  44). 

III.    Conditions  of  Admission  and  Residence. 

§  11.  All  Graduate  Students,  before  taking  up  their  resi- 
dence, must  register  themselves  at  the  office  of  the  Re- 
corder, and  deposit  with  that  officer  a  list  of  the  studies 
they  intend  to  pursue;  this  must  designate  the  professors 
or  instructors  under  whose  direction  they  propose  to  work, 
and  must  be  signed  by  the  latter.  Graduates  of  other 
institutions  must  furnish  satisfactory  evidence  of  their 
graduation. 

g  12.  All  Applicants  for  admission  as  Undergraduates,  before 
the  opening  of  the  entrance  examination  at  which  they 
wish  to  present  themselves,  must  file  with  the  Recorder, 
who  will  furnish  blanks  for  the  purpose,  an  Application 
Paper,  stating  the  Course  and  Status  for  which  application 
is  made,  and  such  other  matters  of  information  as  the 
blanks  may  designate.  They  must  also  deposit  with  the 
Recorder  a  certificate  of  good  moral  character.  In  case 
they  elect  to  divide  their  entrance  examination  as  per- 


[4] 

mitted  in  £17  below,  they  must  file  a  .separate  application 
paper  for  each  partial  examination. 

§  13.  General  List  of  Preparatory  Subjects.  Applicants  for  ad- 
mission must  be  at  least  sixteen  years  of  age,  and  must

[61 

11.  PHYSICS.  The  elements  of  the  subject,  taught  ex- 
perimentally, as  shown  in  some  such  work  as  Gage's  Ele- 
ments of  Physics;  Peck's  Ganot  (or  a  real  equivalent)  will 
cover  the  ground.  Until  1887,  any  one  of  the  topics  in- 
cluded under  Subject  12  following  will  be  accepted  as  an 
equivalent  for  the  Physics. 

12.  Any  one  of  the  following  :  (a)  Chemistry ; 
(b)  Botany ;  (c)  Physiology  ;  (d)  Mineralogy  ;  (e)  Plane 
Trigonometry  ;  (/)  Free-hand  Drawing. 

13.  History.  History  of  England.  Gardiner's  His- 
tory for  Schools  will  indicate  the  amount.  General  history 
will  be  accepted  instead,  in  unusual  cases. 

14.  English.  The  examination  in  this  Subject  will  pre- 
suppose thorough  study  of  the  selections  named  below. 
The  candidate  should  be  prepared  to  elucidate  in  full  the 
meaning  of  any  passage  in  the  works  assigned  ;  to  para- 
phrase such  passage  ;  to  point  out  the  rhetorical  figures 
in  it ;  to  answer  questions  concerning  the  lives  of  the,, 
authors  and  the  subject-matter  and  structure  of  the  works 
studied.  The  history  of  words  should  also  receive  at- 
tention, Skeat's  Etymological  Dictionary  being  taken  as 
the  authority.  For  the  present,  the  examination  in  word- 
derivation  will  be  limited  to  Spenser's  Prothalamion.

following  works : — Scott's  Lay  of  the  Last  Minstrel ;  Whit- 
tier's  Snow-Bound  ;  Longfellow's  Evangeline  ;  Lowell's 
Sir  Launfal ;  Sir  Roger  de  Coverley  ;  Burke's  Works, 
edited  by  Payne,  Vol.  i. ;  and  Hales's  Longer  English 
Poems,  omitting  Wordsworth's  Laodamia  and  Shelley's

§  14.  Groups  of  Subjects  for  the  Several  Courses.  Of  the  fore- 
going Subjects,  one  of  the  following  Four  Groups,  or  parts 
of  them,  must  be  taken,  according  to  the  Course  and  Status 
applied  for: — 

I.  For  the  Classical  Course,  Subjects  1,  2,  3«,  4a,  5,  6,  7, 
8,  9,  and  10. 

II.  For  the  Literary  Course,  Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5,  6,  7, 
10,  11,  and  14. 


m 

III.  For  the  Course  in  Letters  and  Political  Science,  Subjects 
1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5 ;  and  either  6,  7,  8,  9,  and  10  ;  or  6,  7,  10,  11, 
and  14  ;  or  36,  46,  11,  12,  and  14.  But  a  signal  failure  in 
Subject  14  will  exclude  the  applicant  from  this  Course. 

IV.  For  any  of  the  five  Courses  in  Science,  Subjects  1,  2, 
3(a  and  6),  4(a  and  6),  5,  11,  12,  and  either  (3  or  14. 

For  a  Course  at  Large,  either  of  the  Four  Groups  re- 
quired for  admission  to  a  Regular  Course,  as  the  applicant 
may  elect.  And  in  case  the  applicant  proposes,  if  admit- 
ted, to  take  any  study  out  of  the  prescribed  order,  all  the 
examinations  required  for  its  pursuit  by  a  Regular  Stu- 
dent must  be  passed  before  admission. 

For  a  Special  Course,  such  of  the  General  List  of  Subjects 
as,  in  the  judgment  of  the  professors  or  instructors  in  charge 
of  the  special  line  of  studies  intended,  are  requisite  for  its 
proper  pursuit.  The  list  thus  approved  must  be  deposited 
with  the  Recorder  before  the  examination.  No  applicant 
who  has  failed  in  the  entrance  examination  for  a  Regular 
Course  or  a  Course  at  Large  will  be  allowed  to  take  a  Spe- 
cial Course. 

For  a  Limited  Course,  Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  and  5;  and,  in 
addition,  any  in  the  General  List  that  are  requisite  to  the 
studies  sought  by  the  applicant ;  if  advanced  studies  are 
sought,  the  applicant  must  pass  all  the  examinations  con- 
ditional to  them  that  are  required  of  Regular  Students. 
The  exact  list  of  requisite  subjects  must  be  ascertained 
through  the  Recorder,  and  deposited  with  him  before  the 
examination. 

§  15.  Applicants  who  pass  their  entire  entrance  exami- 
nation without  conditions  will  be  credited  with  honors  in 
the  subjects  in  which  they  pass  with  especial  excellence. 

§  16.  Times  and  Places  of  Examination.  At  the  end  of  May, 
annually,  there  will  be  held  simultaneously  at  Berkeley, 
Los  Angeles  and  Marysville  the  First  Entrance  Exami- 
nation, continuing  through  the  Thursday,  Friday  and 
Saturday  following  the  annual  Commencement  in  the 
College  of  Letters  and  the  Colleges  of  Science. 


In  August  following,  annually,  at  the  beginning  of  the 
first  term,  the  Second  Entrance  Examination  will  be  held 
at  Berkeley  only,  continuing  through  Wednesday,  Thurs- 
day and  Friday. 

No  applicant  for  admission  will  be  examined  at  any  other 
time,   except  for  reasons  of  the  most  exceptional  urgency. 

§  17.  Preliminary  Examinations.  Any  applicant  for  admission 
to  a  Regular  Course  or  to  a  Course  at  Large  may,  at  option, 
pass  the  entire  entrance  examination  atone  time  or  divide 
it  between  two  years,  passing  part  of  it  as  a  preliminary 
examination  in  one  year,  and  completing  the  remainder 
the  next  year.  But  neither  the  preliminary  examination 
nor  the  remainder  in  completion  may  be  divided  between 
the  May  and  August  examinations  of  the  same  year. 

Applicants  will  not  be  admitted  to  the  preliminary  ex- 
amination without  certificates  from  their  teachers  that  they 
are  prepared  in  the  subjects  they  offer.  These  certificates 
must  be  addressed  to  the  Recorder  of  the  Faculties,  Berke- 
ley, and  must  be  in  his  hands  previous  to  the  examina- 
tion. 

Certificates  of  partial  admission  will  only  be  issued  for 
subjects  passed  without  conditions,  nor  will  any  cer- 
tificate be  issued  to  an  applicant  who  does  not  pass  in  at 
least  five  of  the  subjects  offered.  These  subjects  must  be 
confined  to  Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5,  6,  8,  10  (a  or  6),  and  11 
of  the  General  List  (See  §13),  which  must  be  grouped 
for  the  several  Courses  as  follows: — 

I.  For  the  Classical  Course,  Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5,  6,  8, 
and  10  (a  or  b). 

II.  For  the  Literary  Course,  Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5,  6, 
10  (a  or  6),  and  11. 

III.  For  the  Course  in  Letters  and  Political  Science, 
Subjects  1,  2,  3a,  4a,  5;  and  either  6,  8,  and  10  (a  or  6);  or  6, 
10  (a  or  b),  and  11;  or  11  and  (if  the  applicant  elect  it)  6. 

IV.  For  any  of  the  five  Courses  in  Science,  Subjects  1, 
2,  3a,  4a,  5,  11,  and  (if  the  applicant  so  elect)  6. 

For  a  Course  at  Large,  either  of  the  preceding  groups. 
But  for  no  Course  will  an  examination  be  granted  on  part 
of  a.Subject.

§  18.  Admission  from  Approved  Public  Schools.  By  a  Regulation 
adopted  by  the  Board  of  Regents,  March  4,  1884,  it  is  es- 
tablished, that — 

"  Upon  the  request  of  the  Principal  of  any  public  school 
in  California  whose  course  of  study  embraces,  in  kind  and 
extent,  the  subjects  required  for  admission  to  any  College 
of  the  University,  a  committee  of  the  Faculty  will  visit 
such  school,  and  report  upon  the- quality  of  the  instruction 
there  given.  If  the  report  of  such  committee  be  favorable, 
a  graduate  of  the  school,  upon  the  personal  recom- 
mendation of  the  Principal,  accompanied  by  his  certificate 
that  the  graduate  has  satisfactorily  completed  the  studies 
of  the  course  preparatory  to  the  College  he  wishes  to  enter, 
may,  at  the  discretion  of  the  Faculty,  be  admitted  with- 
out examination." 

IV.    Matriculation,  Subscription,  and  Attendance. 

§  19.  No  student  will  be  admitted  to  the  exercises  of 
any  professor  or  instructor,  except  as  authorized  by  the 
official  list  of  his  students  furnished  to  each  officer  by 
the  Recorder.  No  student's  name  can  appear  upon  this 
list  except  after  issuance,  to  each,  of  the  Recorder's  cer- 
tificate of  admission,  authorized  by  vote  of  the  proper 
Faculty  on  the  results  of  the  entrance  examination  ;  nor,  in 
the  case  of  Regular  Students  and  Students  at  Large,  until 
each  has  duly  matriculated  (See  §§  20,22) ;  nor,  in  the  case  of 
Partial  Course  Students,  until  each  has  made  proper  sub- 
scription of  the  Roll  (See  §§  21,  22) ;  nor  until  the  student, 
of  whatever  status,  has  duly  presented  to  the  Recorder 
the  list  of  elective  and  optional  studies,  as  required  in  §  26 
below. 

§20.  Every  Regular  Student  and  every  Student  at  Large  shall, 
immediately  on  first  coming  into  residence,  present  to  the 
Recorder  the  certificate  of  admission  and,  in  the  presence 
of  the  Recorder  and  the  President,  shall  matriculate,  by 
signing  the  Roll  of  the  University  under  the  proper  College. 
By  this  act  of  matriculation  the  student  assumes  allegiance 
to  the  University,  pledges  obedience  to  its  existing  Regu- 
lations, and  to  all  others  that  may  be  established  in  it,

enters  upon  the  privileges  of  a  prospective  graduate. 

§21.  livery  Partial  Course  Student,  whether  taking  a 
Special  or  a  Limited  Course,  shall,  immediately  upon  com- 
ing into  residence  each  year,  present  to  the  Recorder  the 
certificate  of  admission,  and  in  his  presence  and  that  of 
the  President  shall  subscribe  the  Roll  of  Partial  Course  Students  ;

versity, and  to  the  particular  College,  as  that  assumed  by 
matriculated  students,  as  described  in  the  preceding 
section,  and  entering  upon  the  privileges  appertaining  to 
the  Partial  Status.  But  these  privileges  are  limited  to 
the  single  academic  year  at  the  beginning  of  which  they 
are  granted. 

§  22.  Upon  matriculation  or  subscription,  as  described 
and  required  in  the  two  preceding  sections,  the  President 
will  sign  the  student's  certificate  of  admission,  which  on 
this  condition,  but  not  otherwise,  becomes  valid  for  the 
purpose  designated  in  :;  1!). 

V.    Studies  :  Prescribed,  Elective,  and  Optional. 

§23.  For  each  of  the  eight  Regular  Courses  there  is  a 
minimum  of  prescribed  studies.  In  addition  to  this  mini- 
mum, as  it  is  laid  down  for  each  term,  every  Regular  Student 
must  each  term  elect  such  other  studies  as  may  be  neces- 
sary to  make  up  the  full  number  of  hours  required  per 
week  (See  f 6).  The  elective  studies  must  be  taken  in  the 
order  allotted  to  them  in  the  Four  Years  regularly  as- 
signed to  each  Course. 

Every  Student  at  Large  must  make  up  each  term  a  list  of 
studies,  entirely  elective,  sufficient  to  fill  up  the  same 
number  of  hours  per  week  as  are  required  of  Regular 
Students  (See  \  7). 

\  21.  All  Partial  Course  Students,  whether  in  a  Special  or  in 
a  Limited  Course,  have  all  their  studies  elective,  but  under 
the'  conditions  specified  in  ||  8  and  9  above,  and  in  §  26  be- 
low. 

I  25.    In  addition  to  the  studies,  prescribed  and  elective, 


11 


requisite  to  make  up  the  number  of  hours  required  per  week, 
Regular  Students  and  Students  at  Large,  if  they  appear  to  be 
equal  to  the  additional  labor,  will  be  permitted  to  take  a 
proper  number  of  Optional  Studies.  Such  optional  studies 
shall  be  subject  to  the  same  conditions  of  attendance, 
though  not  necessarily  of  examination,  as  prescribed  and 
elective  studies  ;  but  students  taking-  them,  upon  previous- 
ly obtaining  the  consent  of  the  professor  or  instructor 
in  charge  of  each,  may,  if  they  wish,  be  admitted  to  the 
examinations  in  them,  provided  they  accept  the  risk  of 
being  conditioned  or  of  failing'. 

Special  Students  also  may  be  permitted  to  take  optional 
studies,  under  the  conditions  just  specified.  But  this 
privilege  will  not  be  extended  to  students  in  a  Limited 
Course. 

Students  desiring  to  take  optional  studies  must  apply  for 
permission  to  the  President,  and  afterwards,  with  the 
President's  written  consent,  to  the  professor  or  instructor 
in  charge.  But  no  student  will  be  allowed  to  take  an 
optional  study  who  is  under  a  condition,  or  who  is  doing 
prescribed  and  elective  work  in  a  merely  passable  manner. 

|  2(>.  All  students  must  submit  to  the  Recorder  a  com- 
plete list  of  their  studies,  elective  and  optional,  within 
three  days  after  the  opening  of  each  term.  Any  student 
who  fails  to  do  so  will  be  debarred  from  all  the  privileges 
of  the  University  until  the  list  is  submitted,  and  the  con- 
sequent absences  from  exercises  will  be  recorded  as  un- 
excused  (See  \  39). 

VI.    Change  of  Status,  Course,  or  Studies. 

|  27.  No  student  may  change  either  the  Status,  the 
Course,  or  any  study,  originally  undertaken,  or  elected,  or 
sought  as  optional,  except  by  the  distinct  consent  of 
the  Faculties  and  particular  professors  or  instructors 
concerned.  Such  consent  must  be  sought  of  the  proper 
Faculty  or  Faculties  by  a  petition  accompanied  with  the 
approval  of  the  professors  or  instructors  directly  con- 
cerned, and  presented  through  the  Recorder.  Nor  may 
any  student  drop  any  study  once  taken,  without  like  con- 
sent, obtained  in  a  like  manner. 


[12] 

I  28.  No  student  will  be  granted  any  change  in  Status 
or  in  Course,  who  is  still  under  a  condition  received 
at  an  examination.  Nor  will  such  privilege  be  granted  to 
any  student  in  low  standing,  except  it  be  shown,  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  Faculty  or  Faculties  concerned,  that 
such  standing  is  owing  to  want  of  adaptation,  and  is  likely 
to  be  remedied  by  the  change. 

I  29.  No  Limited  Course  Student,  no  Special  Student, 
and  no  Student  at  Large,  can  become  a  Regular  Student 
unless,  in  addition  to  the  petitioning  prescribed  in  §  27, 
all  the  examinations  requisite  to  a  Regular  Course  are 
duly  passed. 

I  30.  No  Regular  Student  who  fails  to  maintain  the 
Regular  Status  will  be  allowed  to  become  a  Partial  Course 
Student  or  a  Student  at  Large. 

VII.    Examinations,  Conditions,  and  Failures. 

|  31.  The  regulations  pertaining  to  examinations,  con- 
ditions and  failures,  excepting  the  distinctive  specifications 
made  in  §§41  and  42  below,  shall  apply  to  all  students 
alike  ; — to  Partial  Course  Students,  whether  in  a  Special 
or  a  Limited  Course,  and  to  Students  at  Large,  with  the 
same  rigor  as  to  Regular  Students. 

I  32.  Examinations  will  be  held  at  the  end  of  each  term, 
and  at  no  other  time.  They  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be 
conducted  in  writing,  and  a  maximum  time  will  be  as- 
signed beforehand  for  each,  which  no  candidate  will  be 
allowed  to  exceed.  This  time  shall  not  be  more  than  three 
hours. 

§  33.  The  approved  results  of  examinations,  and  of 
term- work  whenever  a  record  of  the  latter  is  kept,  will 
be  ranked  in  Four  Grades,  as  defined  in  §  44  below.  A 
record  below  the  fourth  grade,  if  the  deficiency  is  mod- 
erate, will  subject  the  student  to  a  condition;  if  the  defi- 
ciency is  total,  or  even  very  great,  the  result  will  be  re- 
corded as  failure. 

|  34.  Students  other  than  those  in  a  Limited  Course, 
who  are  free  from  conditions,  may  during    the    exam- 


13 


ination-period  at  the  end  of  any  term  present  themselves 
for  examination  in  subjects  additional  to  those  in  which 
they  are  required  to  be  examined.  If  their  general  rank 
in  their  required  examinations  proves  to  be  not  lower  than 
the  third  grade,  any  of  the  additional  examinations  in 
which  they  attain  a  rank  not  lower  than  the  third  grade 
will  be  put  to*their  credit. 

I  35.  No  book,  manuscript,  or  other  source  of  infor- 
mation, shall  be  brought  into  any  examination-room,  ex- 
cept by  the  explicit  order  of  the  examiner.  Nor  shall  any 
student,  in  the  course  of  an  examination,  have  any  com- 
munication with  another  student  for  any  reason  whatever. 

|  36.  A  student  absent  from  an  examination  will  be  con- 
sidered as  conditioned  in  the  subject  of  it,  and  will  be  sub- 
ject, in  all  respects,  to  the  same  regulations  as  other  con- 
ditioned students. 

I  37.  Anjf  student  tardy  at  an  examination,  will  be  de- 
barred from  taking  it,  and  reported  as  conditioned ;  and 
the  condition  shall  stand,  and  be  subject  to  the  same  regu- 
lations as  any  condition  ordinarily  imposed. 

|  38.  A  student  who  leaves  an  examination-room  while 
the  examination  is  in  progress,  will  not  be  allowed  to  re- 
turn. 

\  39.  A  student  may  be  debarred  from  examination  for 
excessive  absence  from  term  exercises  or  for  neglect  of 
duty.  A  student  so  debarred  will  be  subject,  in  all  respects, 
to  the  same  regulations  as  a  conditioned  student. 

\  40.  All  students  conditioned  upon  any  examination 
after  entrance  (  For  the  regulations  governing  entrance 
conditions,  see  §  43  below)  must  be  re-examined  in  its  sub- 
ject at  the  end  of  the  next  term,  except  that  Seniors  con- 
ditioned in  December  must  be  re-examined  (See  $  45)  in 
the  first  week  after  the  recess  in  March  following ;  but 
all  students  that/a//  in  any  examination,  must  repeat  its 
subject  with  the  next  Class. 

I  41.  Any  Regular  Student  who  fails  in  examinations 
representing  half  the  work  of  the  term,  will  be  remanded 


I  14  j 

to  the  next  lower  (lass.     Limited  Course  Students,  In   the 
like  case,  will  be  dropped  from  the  Roll. 

\  42.  On  re-examination  after  being  conditioned,  all 
Regular  Students  and  Students  at  Large  that  do  not  pass 
will  be  required  to  repeat  the  deficient  subjects  with 
the  Class  that  next  takes  them.  But  Regular  Students 
whose  total  deficiencies  after  re-examination  represent 
half  the  term-work  preceding  the  examination  at  which 
they  were  conditioned,  will  be  remanded  to  the  Class 
from  which  they  were  conditionally  promoted.  Limited 
Course  Students  who  do  not  pass  when  re-examined,  must 
repeat  the  subject  with  the  proper  Class  ;  unless  their  de- 
ficiencies represent  half  their  term-work  at  the  time  they 
were  conditioned,  in  which  case  they  will  be  dropped  from 
the  Roll. 

I  43.  All  Entrance  Conditions  must  be  made  up  before  the 
first  term  of  the  student's  Sophomore  year  ;  no  student 
will  be  admitted  to  the  Sophomore  Class  who  has  an  unre- 
moved  entrance  condition. 

Conditions  imposed  at  the  entrance  examination  in 
May,  may  be  made  up,  if  the  student  prefers,'  at  the  en- 
trance examination  in  the  following  August.  An  en- 
trance condition  in  a  subject  continued  in  the  University, 
and  in  which  the  conditioned  student  attains  a  rank  not 
lower  than  the  third  grade,  may  be  removed  by  the  proper 
Faculty  on  the  recommendation  of  the  officer  of  instruction 
in  charge  of  the  subject.  All  entrance  conditions  not  thus 
removed  (including  those  in  subjects  not  continued  in 
the  University)  must  be  made  up  at  the  May  or  the 
August  entrance  examination  next  following  the  student's 
Freshman  year. 

VIII.    Grades  of  Scholarship. 

I  44.  On  the  aggregate  record  for  the  various  Courses 
in  the  University,  all  students  will  be  ranked  in  the 
Four  Grades  established  in  $33  for  ranking  the  re- 
sults of  the  examinations,  and  the  entire  credit-roll  of 
each  student  will  be    made  up  on  the  following  basis : —  A 


I  15  ] 

student  ranking-  in  the  first  grade  in  a  study  having  one 
exercise  a  week  will  be  credited  with  a  mark  of  05  a  term; 
in  a  study  having  two  exercises  a  week,  the  same  student 
will  be  credited  with  a  mark  of  twice  95  a  term  ;  and  so 
on.  A  student  ranking  in  the  second  grade  will  be 
credited  with  a  mark  of  85 ;  in  the  third  grade,  with  a 
mark  of  75;  and  in  the  fourth  grade,  with  a  mark  of  GO:  all 
the  marks  subject  to  multiplication  on  the  same  conditions 
and  in  the  same  proportion  as  the  mark  of  the  first  grade. 
Prom  the  aggregate  thus  obtainable  an  average  mark 
will  be  deduced  for  the  student's  whole  course,  by  the  or- 
dinary rule,  and  each  student  will  be  ranked  in  one  of  the 
Four  Grades  accordingly. 

IX.    Degrees,  and  Certificates  of  Excellence. 

I  45.  No  student  will  be  recommended  for  a  degree  un- 
til all  conditions  imposed  at  any  time  during  the  course 
have  been  finally  and  satisfactorily  removed,  and  the  Re- 
corder's report  shows  a  completely  clear  record.  All  ex- 
aminations of  candidates  must  have  been  passed  prior  to 
the  regular  meeting  of  the  Faculties  for  recommending 
candidates  for  degrees. 

Students  other  than  Regular,  who  intend  becoming  can- 
didates for  degrees  at  any  Commencement,  must  present 
the  total  schedule  of  studies  upon  which  they  propose  to 
rest  their  candidacy  (See  $ 10)  to  the  proper  Faculty  for  ap- 
proval, at  its  first  meeting  in  the  term  at  the  end  of  which 
they  wish  to  graduate. 

\  46.  Certificates  of  excellence  will  be  voted  to  such 
students  only,  as,  being  otherwise  entitled  to  them 
(See  |  10),  satisfy  the  same  conditions  in  respect  to  a  clear 
record  that  are  required  in  $  45  of  candidates  for  a  degree. 

X.    Discipline. 

I  47.  General  Principles.  It  is  presumed  that  students  are 
in  attendance  at  the  University  with  an  earnest  purpose, 
and  that  they  know  the  difference  between  good  and  bad 
conduct,  between  faithful  and  unfaithful  work. 

Moreover,  it  is  believed  that  good  mental  and  moral  hah- 


299104 


[16] 

its,  especially  honor,  open  dealing;  and  propriety  of  behav- 
ior,  are  better  cultivated  by  holding  students  responsible 
for  setting  and  observing- a  proper  standard  than  by  attempt- 
ing to  secure  it  by  rules  with  prescribed  penalties.  When- 
ever, therefore,  the  Faculties  become  convinced  that  a 
student,  either  because  of  improper  conduct  or  neglect  of 
duty,  is  not  making  a  proper  use  of  the  advantages  of  the 
University,  they  will  withdraw  its  privileges,  or  take  such 
other  action  as  may  seem  to  them  best.  Further,  each 
case  willbejudged  in  the  light  of  the  attendant  circumstan- 
ces, so  that  the  same  apparent  offense,  whether  in  common 
conduct  or  in  academic  duty,  will  not  necessarily  be  visited 
with  the  same  penalty. 

|  48.  Leave  of  Absence.  Leave  of  absence  indicates  that 
the  student  has  been  absent  from  one  or  more  college  ex- 
ercises for  sufficient  reason,  but  it  does  not  excuse  the 
student  from  making  up  exercises  thus  lost.  Certificates 
of  leave  of  absence  must  be  presented  to  officers  of  instruc- 
tion, and  afterwards  filed  with  the  Recorder,  within  a  week 
of  their  expiration,  otherwise  the  absences  will  be  record- 
ed as  unexcused  (See  §39).  Leave  of  absence  may  ordina- 
rily be  obtained  from  the  President. 

I  49.  Honorable  Dismissal.  Honorable  Dismissal  indicates 
that  the  student  has  withdrawn  from  the  University  in 
good  standing.  It  may  be  obtained  by  petitioning  the 
proper  Faculty.  Without  such  petition,  no  record  of  Hon- 
orable Dismissal  will  be  made. 

I  50.  Grades  of  Censure.  Censure  will  be  expressed  in  the 
Four  Grades  of  Probation,  Suspension,  Dismission,  and 
Expulsion. 

(1). — Probation  indicates  that  the  student  is  in  danger  of 
exclusion  from  the  University. 

(2). — Suspension  is  exclusion  from  the  University  for  a 
definite  period. 

(3). --Dismission  is  exclusion  for  an  indefinite  period,  and 
with  the  presumption  that  the  student's  connection  with 
the  University  will  be  ended  by  it. 

(4). — Expulsion  is  the  highest  academic  censure,  and  is 
a  final  exclusion  of  the  student  from  the  University.
